A legislator proposed the bill after a BlackBerry user caused a five-car pileup on a state highway. Washington State Patrol officers cited cell phones in cars as an increasing problem. DWT is now a traffic offense, which normally carries a $111 fine.

Solution? Add to cell system intelligence. Automate speech to text, and text to speech, while blocking use if GPS shows the car's moving. It needn't be in the phone itself; maybe we can get Claire to do it for us.

How can we reach out and touch someone, without crashing? Fess up, though.. do you DWT? Send us some good DWT stories. Join the discussion.
